Digital Media Buyer

WDIV/ClickOnDetroit/Graham Digital
Detroit, MI Full Time
POSTED ON 4/10/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/1/2026
Reports to: Director of Revenue Operations

Location: Remote - strongly preferred in one of GMG’s markets (Detroit, MI; Houston or San Antonio TX; Jacksonville or Orlando, FL; or Roanoke, VA)

Description

The Digital Media Buyer (DMB) executes digital advertising campaigns across multiple programmatic platforms, ensuring flawless planning, setup, pacing, optimization, and reporting. This role turns media plans into live campaigns — managing the details that drive results. The DMB, working in conjunction with Director of Revenue Operations, supports efficient performance-driven campaigns that align with client goals and category strategy.

Responsibilities

  • Execute and optimize programmatic campaigns within DSPs and other ad platforms (display, OTT/CTV, audio, video, social).
  • Monitor performance daily for pacing, delivery, and quality — making data-driven adjustments to improve results based on client KPIs.
  • Maintain campaign documentation including insertion orders, creative assets, targeting parameters, and reporting deliverables.
  • Generate client-facing reports summarizing key metrics, insights, and recommendations for future optimization.
  • Troubleshoot technical or delivery issues with vendors, platforms, and internal teams to ensure smooth execution.
  • Stay informed on evolving digital ad products and best practices to bring proactive recommendations to the sales and client service teams.

Requirements

  • Minimum 2 years of experience in digital advertising operations, ad trafficking, or campaign management (agency, media company, or vendor).
  • Hands-on experience in a demand-side platform (Basis, The Trade Desk, etc.) preferred but not required — strong digital aptitude is essential.
  • Solid understanding of key metrics (CTR, CPM, CPA, ROAS) and campaign performance analysis.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, time management, and communication skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple campaigns simultaneously.
